Fuel Prices

Services A702/M74 199.9p for diesel. 194.9p on Tuesday. I put £124 in my pickup. Absolutely insane.

Absolutely insane

Don't you feel warm inside that you've helped save the planet from the wrath of the climate gods?

I've been putting about £130 in my vans each time I fill up for about the last 3 months

It's wealthy people who benefit from an image of being green who have the most influence on the price at the pump. It's no wonder it's going up.

I'd use another adjective

The whole green agenda isn't too do with saving the planet its about image and looking good. I don't disagree with global emissions needing cut and cleaner ways of us existing but why don't we look to do it properly rather than just one big bluff. We have near enough no steel industry left here amongst other pollutant industries, not because abroad could do it cheaper but because getting rid of it cuts uk emissions. The fact that its made elsewhere and shipped in actually mean that there will be higher emissions from it but that's ok cos we aren't making them here. Whole job stinks.

Exactly my thoughts. It's all the bs about appearance

My local shell was 1.85 inc vat this week.. I’ve never had fuel cards but May look at one now I’m filling everything up at the white pump! Do you contact shell direct to get a shell fuel card then? No idea how they work!

My Shell card is through Fuel Card Services in Blackburn, but I believe you can go direct with Shell.
The same for them all, watch what terms they give you, watch out for charges, some have charges for under usage, annual card charges, charges/surcharge for filling up at non core sites.
I got most of my cards years ago, when I`d applied and got granted my O licence, and fuel card firms got your details off the application and where ringing up offering their cards, (how times have changed!).
I`ve stuck with them listed, as they have been OKish on prices and terms, even though most have been bought out or taken over in the past.
Also if you go the card route, get more than one supplier, so you know if they are having you over.

Where can you use applegreen at? Bunkers only ?

 

[DaveDCB]

I had companies ring me constantly for years, I’d always tell them to sod off before they’d explain what they were about spent £500 on white this week alone and that only filled 2 trucks and my digger

They have been buying garages up, they bought 2 local to here, we where using them with UKF, and still can, just an extra option depending on price.
They also have some deal with welcome break motorway services, and taking the forecourts over.
